Spring residents and the broader Greater Houston area now have six new dining venues to explore, each bringing a distinct culinary tradition to local neighborhoods. These openings add variety for families seeking quality meals, coffee, and desserts close to home.
Bread Boat – Georgian Comfort Food
At Bread Boat, the centerpiece is the traditional Georgian khachapuri, described on the restaurant’s website as a national dish of Georgia. The hand‑shaped dough boat is baked until the crust turns golden brown, then filled with molten cheese, egg yolk and butter. Diners can tear the crust and dip it as they wish, creating a comforting, shareable experience.
The bakery also serves a range of pastries—including danishes, baguettes, croissants and cakes—alongside espresso‑based drinks such as espressos and cappuccinos, providing a full café atmosphere for morning and afternoon visits.
Ember & Vine – Upscale Dining with a Cigar Lounge
Ember & Vine combines a chef‑driven restaurant with an indoor cigar lounge, offering a refined setting for both dining and relaxation. The menu features upscale dishes crafted by the kitchen team, while the bar presents a selection of crafted cocktails. A curated wine list is designed to complement meals in the dining room and the lounge, catering to patrons who appreciate both fine food and a sophisticated cigar experience.
Honor Society Coffee Co. – Drive‑Thru Convenience

Ramen Tatsu‑Ya – Authentic Tokyo‑Inspired Ramen
Ramen Tatsu‑Ya brings a Tokyo‑style ramen experience to the area, featuring a broth that simmers for 60 hours to develop deep flavor. The menu highlights a chicken shoyu broth ramen and two vegetarian almond‑milk tonkotsu ramen options. Toppings include beni shoga, goma pork, tofu, nori and Brussels sprouts, allowing diners to customize their bowls.
Snowball Shop – Shaved‑Ice Desserts and Local Goods
The Snowball Shop offers shaved‑ice treats infused with syrup, with more than 50 flavor options.
